We had the good fortune of connecting with Cedric Bacon and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Cedric, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
The most important factor behind my success is the diversity of being able to offer a variety of different photography services.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Hello, everyone My name is Cedric Bacon. I’m a self-taught photographer based out of Statesboro, GA. Back in 2017 I discovered my fascination for cameras after capturing a photo of the moon. I was just blown away by the amount of details that I could see. That experience led me to read and study more on different camera brands and lenses. After that, I was hooked on Astrophotography! I would go on to capture many more moon phases throughout 2017 and even a Total Solar Eclipse. Later I got into photographing the Milky Way Galaxy and also discovered my love for landscape/Nature photography.
Soon, people would ask me if I took portraits of people which I declined several times. One day a good friend of mine asked if I could take photos of her family. I was kind of hesitate at first, but I eventually agreed to it and got real good feedback from the pictures and that’s how it all started. With hard work and determination, I would open my very first photography studio in 2019.
With having a special connection with nature, I so often would implement it into my portrait workflow which people seemed to love developing my unique style of photography. I was honestly skeptical about it, but I took the risk of being myself and naturally letting my creative side flow through my work and it’s made some beautiful art which I’m very proud of.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Jekyll Island, GA is my favorite place to visit when I’m not busy with clients. I enjoy walking Driftwood Beach while photographing wildlife and the landscape it offers. Even though I operate a successful photography business, picking up a camera and showing the world my eye through the lens is still fun and therapeutic. It will always be my passion first.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Photographer Marc Hilton was my motivation starting out in my photography journey and still is. I give many thanks to him.
